Who is next to Pessoa. Observe, analyze and detour.
“Observing Fernando Pessoa’s work stepping backwards as a starting-point. Then, from that withdrawn position, think on the liaisons. What is next to, around, underneath.
Pessoa and identity. Connecting point to many authors. Pirandello and schizophrenia, Barthes and the boat, Deleuze and the horse, Thomas Mann and the heads.
The thought and language of Pessoa. How does one think.
The diversity of private languages.
Start at Pessoa’s writings and end with the rest.”
